Zack Snyder Confirms Lex Luthor Will Be in ‘Batman vs. Superman’
Earlier today, 'Man of Steel' director Zack Snyder and star Amy Adams sat down with Kevin Smith at a special fan event for the upcoming Blu-ray release, with Henry Cavill telecasting in from London -- but the making of that film wasn't all they discussed. Snyder dropped a few hints about his sequel, working under the tentative title 'Batman vs. Superman,' which, obviously features the caped crusad
‘Star Wars: Episode 7′ Confirms December 2015 Release Date
There's been a lot of speculation over whether J.J. Abrams and Disney could reach an agreement over the release date of 'Star Wars: Episode 7,' with Abrams recently scrapping Michael Arndt's script to rework the story and characters. But now we have official confirmation that the latest entry in the 'Star Wars' franchise will indeed be released on December 18, 2015, putting it right up against Dun
Emile Hirsch to Star as John Belushi in Upcoming Biopic
It's no easy task casting the role of an iconic star for a biopic, but we think this choice might be pretty inspired. We learned last week that a biopic on the life of comedic actor John Belushi is in the works, with Emile Hirsch, Joaquin Phoenix and 'Girls' star Adam Driver's names being tossed around. And today we've gotten confirmation that Hirsch has been chosen to take the lead in the upcomin
Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock Recreated the Chopsticks Scene from ‘Big’
Everyone remembers the scene in 'Big' when Tom Hanks plays "Chopsticks" on the novelty piano with just his feet. Hanks recently appeared on 'The Jonathan Ross Show' to relive the magic with the host, but then we got a special surprise: Sandra Bullock, who was on hand to promote 'Gravity,' joined in the fun. And even more impressive: Bullock can play "Chopsticks" in high heels!
‘Anchorman 2′: Let Ron Burgundy Sell You a Dodge
In an inspired bit of cross-promotion, Will Ferrell has gotten into character as Ron Burgundy to sell the new 2014 Dodge Durango. With his trademark absurd wit and charm, Burgundy promotes both the upcoming 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' and the shiny new Dodge vehicle in a series of commercials that make us wish that Ron Burgundy would star in every TV ad.
Dominic Cooper Circling Lead in Freddie Mercury Biopic
Earlier this summer, Sacha Baron Cohen dropped out of the long-gestating Freddie Mercury biopic due to disagreements with the remaining Queen band members over the content and tone of the film, but now it looks like his replacement may have been found. 'Captain America' star Dominic Cooper is rumored as the latest actor looking to step into Mercury's unitard.
‘Insidious Chapter 2′ Review
Director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell return to the spooky fun house with 'Insidious Chapter 2,' marking Wan's second horror film release in as many months after this summer's surprise hit 'The Conjuring.' Unfortunately, the sequel gives diminishing returns as the scares are dialed down and the laughs (intentional and unintentional) are cranked way up.
’50 Shades of Grey’ Casts Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam as Leads
At long last, our national nightmare is over: Universal and Focus Features have found their leads for the upcoming adaptation of '50 Shades of Grey.' Dakota Johnson of 'The Social Network' has been cast as Anastasia Steele, the college student who enters into a dominant/submissive relationship with enigmatic businessman Christian Grey because fairy tales do come true, or something. Charlie Hunnam
‘Mission: Impossible 5′: Christopher McQuarrie Confirms Directing Gig
We've been awaiting more news on 'Mission: Impossible 5,' and whether or not the rumors that star Tom Cruise would be reuniting with his 'Jack Reacher' director Christopher McQuarrie for the upcoming sequel were true -- as it turns out, McQuarrie is directing 'Mission: Impossible 5,' unless our eyes deceive us.
Comic-Con 2013: ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ Goes Viral
In anticipation of this afternoon's 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' panel at Comic-Con 2013, Twentieth Century Fox has revealed a new viral (pun intended) website for the film, which warns against the dangers of the Simian Flu -- a disease that, in the fictional world of the 'Apes' films, has now spread to 8.7 million people, making it pretty easy for those apes to take over the world.
‘Glee’ Star Cory Monteith Passes Away at 31
It's with much sadness that we bring you this news so late on a Saturday night. 'Glee' star Cory Monteith has passed away at the age of 31 in Vancouver, Canada, due to unspecified causes.
